Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 3 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh produce.
Dice the zucchini into small, evenly sized cubes and set aside.
Chop the Roma tomatoes into small pieces, discarding the seeds if desired for a less watery salsa.
Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño before dicing.
Mince the garlic clove and chop the cilantro finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro.
Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the mixture.
Add the salt and black pepper, then gently toss the ingredients until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper as needed.
Cover the salsa and let it sit in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a fresh topping for grilled meats or fish.
